Brandon Jacobs hates Cowboys ‘with a bloody passion’

That’s what the Giants RB told the Newark Star-Ledger this week when he was asked about the Cowboys choosing to schedule the Giants as their opponent for the home opener at Cowboys Stadium.

Jacobs told the Star-Ledger that hating a team with a “bloody passion” means you have to enter the game “as being assassins.”

“I’m really, really, really excited for the opportunity to be able to open up their new stadium and play against them,” Jacobs told the newspaper. “I’m glad they picked us. I guess it says something about them playing a certain team I guess they thought were the perfect ones to go in there and get their first win (against).”

It’s nice that Jacobs has found a way to get fired up, but the truth is the Cowboys picked the Giants because they knew their NFC East rivals would bring maximum media exposure. Why pick a patsy like the Lions when you know nobody would tune in to watch it?
